About this title

From the Back Cover:

Praised by experts for its clarity and topical breadth, this visually appealing text provides an easy-to-understand, systematic approach to teaching the fundamentals of 80x86 assembly language programming and PC architecture. It offers readers a fun, hands-on learning experience and reinforces concepts with numerous examples and review questions. It uses the Debug utility to show what action the instruction performs, and then provides a sample program to show its application. The text delves into architecture, supporting chips, buses, interfacing techniques, system programming, hard disk characteristics, and more.

The fourth edition:

• Covers all the 80x86 microprocessors from the 8088 to the Pentium Pro.
• Combines assembly and C programming, and covers C programming in the last section of each chapter.
• Introduces the 80x86 instructions with examples of how they are used.
• Ensures a basic understanding of binary and hex numbering systems.
• Discusses and analyzes hardware differences among 8086, 286, 386, 486, Pentium, and Pentium Pro chips.
• Discusses 8-bit; 16-bit, and 32-bit interfacing of 80x86 microprocessors.
• Shows a real-world approach to PC system programming by using fragments of programs from the IBM PC technical reference.
• Provides an overview of the USB bus.
